Bowmore Laimrig15 year old

Scottish Gaelic for 'pier', Laimrig celebrates Bowmore's ancient stone pier where the distillery's barley would once have been unloaded and the celebrated Single Malt first set sail for the four corners of the world.

This Whisky Shop exclusive bottling of Bowmore takes its name from the Gaelic for ‘pier,’ referring to the ancient stone pier that once served the distillery. It is presented at cask strength after sherry cask finishing and with the addition of a little water it opens up beautifully. Finished in the finest Spanish sherry butts, the cask strength, non-chill filtered Bowmore Laimrig has a rich, dark character and colour.

The nose offers an instant aroma of coal tar soap, but the rich Oloroso sherry notes deliver an attractive counterbalance. On the palate it is full bodied, with a luxurious raisin and sherry taste, complemented by wood smoke. The finish is long and spicy and smoky .

Tarry tarry night

Like chewing on a tarry rope that's been smeared in Christmas pudding.That might not sound like your kind of night out, but this chap possesses a constantly shifting complexity and a beguiling depth of character. This is my ideal Bowmore...

My type of a dram!

Rich, full of flavour with sherry sweetness and that typical Bowmore smokiness. Perfect with Otis Redding's 'Sittin' on the dock of the bay' in the background.... Yum!

Taste Fiesta !!

By far the best Bowmore I have ever tasted, fruity taste that explodes in the mouth from the cask strength which then reveals a beautiful peaty linger. Fantastic !!

Perfect Islay Malt

One of (if not the) best whisky I've tried. Beautifully balanced with a rich fruity beginning which transforms in the glass to reveal more and more smoke. It leaves lovely spicy taste in the mouth which lingers long after the whisky is gone! Can't recommend this highly enough!

Pure Dead brilliant

I can't recommend this more highly it has more character than the 15yo Darkest and the 18yo definitely one or my all time favorites
